Henry and His Influence on Young America
“Give me liberty or give me death!” (Henry 104). How many people have heard this and knew who it came from? The year is 1763. It all began with the French and Indian War. From that came the taxes from Great Britain. Sugar, wine, molasses, then paper, glass, tea, lead, and paint, and when it hit that point, enough was enough. Murmurs of anarchy were already being spread throughout the colonies like butter on a slice of toast straight out of the toaster. Patrick Henry effectively uses the logos technique in his speech “Speech to the Virginia Convention” by opening eyes and creating a sense of unity through his knowledge of history.
After the Boston Massacre and tea party, disrespect and unruly behavior
